Abstract

The first case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the laryngeal region is presented. The tumor showed immunoreactivity for the S-100 protein, low molecular weight cytokeratin, and vimentin. Staining was negative with muscular actin and glial fibrillar acid protein. By electron microscopy the tumor cells showed abundant microfibrillar material, elongated densities resembling smooth muscle dense bodies, pinocytic vesicles, and replicated basal lamina. The myoepithelial nature of plasmacytoid of the salivary gland has been questioned.
